That takes us to at least 7 pardoned J6ers convicted of some kind of sex crime against kids. Plus 4 convicted predators who never got picked up for J6 in the first place.
1% of all of the men Donald Trump pardoned for January 6 have been busted for child-sex crimes
5 years on from the January 6 assault on the Capitol, I've identified 15 pardonees, all men, arrested for child-sex crimes

(That's "4 more men" who were involved in J6 despite not being caught for it. Rickey Williams allegedly drove his daughter Riley to the Capitol riot; Gavin Crowl and Bruce Cymanski have been IDed by others as participating; Andrew Hazelton bragged to coworkers about being at the Capitol.)

I wouldn't say "tracking" but last month I counted 15 J6 pardonees arrested for some kind of sex crime against children. 4 more men who weren't arrested/pardoned for J6 have been busted for child porn or sexual assault of a minor.

Still no straightforward answer to my yes-or-no questions. But no matter. Climate-change activism based on haranguing people for spurning an authoritarian, sex-predator-hugging, pro-genocide government shall fail, I'm confident of that.

In an alarming development, it appears the UK Government covered up a massive spike in trans youth suicides after restrictions.

Then covered it up again when caught.

Now, after fighting for years, the data is public: trans suicide increased 5x in the country.

Trans Youth Suicides Skyrocketed In UK After Care Drawdown; Government Covers It Up

I asked the Defence minister today to examine whether the Β£4 million donation to Labour in 2024 by Quadrature. a hedge fund with sizeable investments in Palentir, a client of Mandelson’s company, had any influence on the award of contracts to Palentir, some without competition.

This is the second time an ICE employee has been arrested in in a Bloomington, MN underage sex trafficking sting www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...
Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Nobody told us we could have ten years of Tory rule AND chaos with Ed Miliband!
*Loads* of chat almost overnight about how the Age of the Wes is over and the time of the Ed is come. You’d have to say it’s either because these lads are being privately told that Mandy has fucked the New Labour lads out of the heliosphere, or they can see it for themselves and don’t need telling.

Instead of answering my (not especially difficult) questions you just repeat a pot-pourri of your earlier talking points like a bot. Curious.
February 10, 2026 at 11:37 PM
Is it your honest, considered opinion that George Monbiot's calling the auctions or the construction workers or Dogger Bank South or Sizewell C a "disaster" here?

Or do you think there's a chance he's referring to some other aspect of Starmer's government's operations?
February 10, 2026 at 11:00 PM
You are digressing to avoid addressing your examples

1. being irrelevant,

2. pre-dating the government you're defending, or

3. being paperwork rather than "real, physical progress".
For instance, Dogger Bank is not a nuclear facility (and began producing power in 2023). Sizewell C began construction months before Starmer's government was elected.

And this _is_ paperwork, not "steel in the ground".
Powering the Future Our new Advanced Nuclear Framework (launched Feb 2026) is a game-changer. It slashes red tape to fast-track private investment into mini-reactors, specifically to power the UK’s booming AI data center industry.

...and if you're using "decouple" in the weak sense of getting more economic output with fewer fossil-fuel emissions, that's been happening for decades.
February 10, 2026 at 10:24 PM
In your words, "Look at the facts": Starmer's government is not, in fact, "the first in history to successfully decouple the UK economy from fossil fuels". It remains routine for the UK to generate power from fossil fuels...

You specifically charged George with conducting himself disgracefully because the government was "delivering" a "Golden Age of Nuclear"; to bring up non-nuclear projects is irrelevant, and I have to conclude you're doing it because otherwise you've barely a toe on which to stand.
